Matteo Lonardi travels across Europe after the perfect light.

Matteo Lonardi does not stay in one place for too long. Even during his stay in New York, all he could talk about was biking across Italy and France while taking photographs. Lonardi is interested in beauty, plain and simple. His sensibilities are unflinchingly traditional and straightforward, but that works to his benefit as he sets out to create seemingly timeless photographs.

He has recently returned again to start his Masters in Journalism at Columbia University. Here are some of his photographs from his recent stint in Europe.
